Meet Dr Cheung

MBBS FRACS

Breast Surgeon (Cancer & Cosmetic)

St Vincent’s Private Hospital
Macquarie University Hospital
Nepean Public Hospital
Nepean Private Hospital

Dr Cheung’s practice philosophy is to be the patient’s advocate in ensuring safety, longevity and harmony. She believes even though she works with a team of specialists and health providers, her role as a breast surgeon influences greatly on her patients’ outcomes from their first consultation to their recovery.

She has implemented game-changing breast cancer surgeries such as nipple-sparing mastectomy, oncoplastic techniques, which in recent years have become the procedure of choice for many women with breast cancer.

Dr Cheung is also experienced in both implant and non-implant breast augmentation, and offers patients liposuction if desired at the time of their breast surgery.

Dr Cheung opts for a powerfully personalised approach to all her patients’ non-surgical and surgical treatments and her all-encompassing view of breast care is valued by cosmetic and cancer patients alike.
